The Engelstock circuit starts at the Mostelberg mountain station and is very popular with walkers and hikers both in summer and winter. With running shoes and some stamina, it becomes a top-class trail run that connects the most flowing paths between Bannegg, Haggenegg, and Mostelegg. The scenic highlight is the flow trail from Haggenegg to Engelstock with the impressive panoramic view of the Bernese four-thousanders. The circuit can also be run just as well from Haggenegg or Mostelegg, also in the opposite direction.

You can comfortably reach Mostelberg by the rotating gondola lift from Sattel. Initially, it goes slightly downhill before the long ascent begins, first leisurely to Herrenboden and then steeper on natural paths and meadow trails up to Spilmettlen, the highest point of the trail circuit. For those who want it more spectacular, start with the 374m-long Skywalk suspension bridge, one of Europe's longest footbridges. The continuation via Bannegg to Haggenegg offers varied, technically easy enjoyment trails over the impressive mountain formations Haggenspitzli and Chli Mythen. The quaint mountain restaurant Haggenegg offers an opportunity to refresh, from whose terrace you can enjoy a phenomenal view over the Schwyz basin and Lake Lucerne.

Freshly strengthened, you can enjoy probably the most beautiful section, which partly leads on wonderful single trails to Mostelegg – this is top-class trail running. The final loop around Engelstock runs on simple paths that repeatedly pass fairy-tale figures, art objects, viewpoints, and a Kneipp course. Various catering options await hungry and thirsty throats at the destination.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Technically skilled runners can extend the circuit and take a detour up to Hochstuckli (1566m) under their running shoes. The trails are challenging and steep, but the view makes the effort worthwhile.
